You appear to be a little bit confused. Ext3 is always journalled. Ext3
without a journal is ext2. By default, ext3 only writes filesystem
metadata to the journal, not file content. If you want to trade
performance for data integrity, use this:

You can try to remount the filesystem with this option, but I don't know
whether that actually works:
mount -o remount,data=journal /dev/sdX1
If it doesn't, you have to umount/mount (or reboot for /).
